Mark Esper, the Defense Secretary of the US has fired Richard Spencer, who is the Navy Chief over the issue of handling the Navy Seal case and for his misconduct, he has been demoted.

The unhappiness of Mr. Trump was because of the cost overruns and how the trial for Chief Petty Officer Gallagher has been run and the reason for Mr. Spencer’s firing has been suggested.
Meanwhile, through a letter which has been strongly worded, Mr. Spencer said that it is very much apparent that the same view was not shared between him and Mr. Trump regarding good discipline and order.
The accusation came against Chief Gallagher that he has stabbed group prisoner of Islamic state who is 17 years old to death and shooting civilians randomly while he was serving for the military in 2017 in Iraq.
He has been relieved from the charges and has been convicted with lesser charges because he posed with the corpse of the IS prisoner.
